Electronic Counting or e-Counting

As the only UK designer and manufacturer of electronic counting systems DRS election technologies have proven to bring benefits of speed, accuracy and transparency to the election process, whilst making significant reductions to the staff needed to manually count complex elections.

Key features of the DRS fast, efficient and accurate electronic counting solution include:

  • Assurance that the correct number of ballot papers are entered into the count
  • The guarantee that each paper is counted, but counted only once
  • Electronically recording votes where the voters intent is clear
  • Passing images of ballot papers where the voters intent is not clear to election officials for adjudication    
  • Higher security measures through audit trails and access controls

“The systems worked flawlessly, the staff were of the highest calibre and their commitment to getting the job done equalled that of my own staff.” 2007 Scottish Local Government and Parliamentary elections.
